Well, as to two Brits wanting to stay in the EU, obviously there are some, in fact nearly 50%. I was, of course, referring to the referendum.
As to putting the UK in its place, I’ll throw it back at you and ask why that referendum passed, if the Brits thought they had such a great deal with the EU?
The referendum result was that narrowly leave won. Totally 37% of the electorate voted leave. It wasn’t a decisive decision like the 67% in 1975 UK Brexit referendum who voted to stay.
They should still leave, yes, as parliament in October 2016 voted to invoke article 50. But the referendum was narrow.
Why the 37 percent voted that way? Many were discontented with what they read in the MSM of the deal they had. The MSM as usual used half truths to ratchet up emotions and sell more papers. Some people definitely had real grievances, #1 being workers from central Europe taking over jobs.
Others used it as a protest vote against the UK government.
So many did think they had a good deal, others didn’t. They should leave in any case, with a no deal hard Brexit as there is no other way to resolve such a deadlock
